Joorabchian And MSG?

News that MSG are about to build a massive ball shaped advertising tower in the Queen Elizabeth Park has gone down like a lead balloon with local residents, match day chaos which already happens would be added to and resources stretched to the limit will become even worse. Now interestingly one of the the people behind MSG is none other than Kia Joorabchian, he was part of MSI, you remember Kia he was the one planted Tevez and Mascherano at West Ham when he was trying to take over the club.

His presence seems to be always there or thereabouts when it comes to controversial West Ham decisions. MSI is a murky company from South America that specialises in buying players at high prices and then loaning them out to clubs in Europe in a scheme that has been likened to money-laundering.

Of course there's no actual proof, but generally there is no smoke without fire, over the last 20 years MSG has been involved in all sorts of football transfers and they have also being involved in several attempted takeovers, they are also rumoured to have been involved in the ill-fated super league proposal.

So in a way similar to the PAI group getting mixed up with the PAX group, MSG and MSI can be equally as confusing. MSG is a company formed when the Maddison Square Gardens corporation decided to sell off some of their assets and diversify.

Quite how they have gotten so far with their planned eyesore is on the face of it a mystery, except the body that approved the plans are the bankrupt owners of the London Stadium, they are obviously desperate to generate funds in any way they can.

Having inflicted a not fit for purpose Stadium on the nation, they now seem hell bent on inflicting a 24 hour blight on the community.....well done Mr Coe and pals! - Ed
